The first spacecraft to visit Jupiter was pioneer 10 in 1973, followed a few months later by Pioneer 11. Aside from taking the first close-up pictures of the planet, the probes discovered its magnetosphere and its largely fluid interior. The voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes visited the planet in 1979, and studied its moon and the ring system, discovering the volcanic activity of Io and the presence of water ice on the surface of Europa. Ulyssesfurther studied Jupiter's magnetosphere in 1992 and then again in 2000. The Cassini probe approached the planet in 2000 and took very detailed images of its atmosphere. The New Horizons spacecraft passed by Jupiter in 2007 and made improved measurements of its and its satellites' parameters.

∙ 14y agoNo one has yet landed on any planet except earth. It would be very difficult to land on the surface of Jupiter - (1) because we don't know if it even has a solid surface, (2) even if it did, the surface pressure would be so great that it would crush any astronaut, (3) Jupiter is very far away, (4) the extreme radiation would kill any living thing that enters the atmosphere.
